Threat Intelligence
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version.

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 rv.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rv package and not the rv package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Remove queue freezing from several sysfs store callbacks
Freezing the request queue from inside sysfs store callbacks may cause a deadlock in combination with the dm-multipath driver and the queue_if_no_path option. Additionally, freezing the request queue slows down system boot on systems where sysfs attributes are set synchronously.
Fix this by removing the blk_mq_freeze_queue() / blk_mq_unfreeze_queue() calls from the store callbacks that do not strictly need these callbacks. Add the __data_racy annotation to request_queue.rq_timeout to suppress KCSAN data race reports about the rq_timeout reads.
This patch may cause a small delay in applying the new settings.
For all the attributes affected by this patch, I/O will complete correctly whether the old or the new value of the attribute is used.
This patch affects the following sysfs attributes:
- io_poll_delay
- io_timeout
- nomerges
- read_ahead_kb
- rq_affinity
Here is an example of a deadlock triggered by running test srp/002 if this patch is not applied:
